    Re: Headphones

    Have a search matey, there is DEFINATELY a heradphone thread, I put my Scosche on there only the other week.

    Oh, but for my money

    Sub £100 - Sony XB700's
    Sub £200 - Scosche

    The Sonys are super full-head cans with proper pillow for ear-muffs, a bomb-proof, metal build and big-ass magnets for actual bass.

    Re: Headphones

    The model you're after can vary massively depending on what you want to use them for. That said, I use my Sony MDR-7506s for a lot of stuff and have no qualms with them. I had a pair of Sennheiser HD25s before which were awesome but I stupidly lent them to my housemate and he f**king left them at Uni. Cnut.

    I love my Beats Studio's, although it gets annoying seeing all the paupers walking around in their solo's

    Take a look at some of the Sennheiser products.

    I have a pair of JVC gummy's which I find a very very good. I also have a set of Sennheiser CX300-II, and although also very good, are not as bassy as the JVC's. Obviously these are in-ear headphones, not sure what type your looking for?

    Got HD25-SPs, as I couldn't warrant the HD25 extra performance - excellent headphone. Just a little bass-heavy for anything jazz/classical (for when I can't be doing with anything hectic!) but great for everything else & drive very loud & clear. They are closed-backs so not much sound escapes.

    If you are happy to have open backs, get Grado SR60s - they're also very good & neutral sounding.

    It's all about Grado. Had my SR80 for years, and they still sound amazing. Open-back though, as said, so not especially bassy, but very musical.

    These AKG K450 headphones are super especially as they are priced at £50

    I'm with the Grado crowd. I've got the SR60's. They are amazingly detailed and have transformed the music I listen to. I love their 'signature' too.
